Smart Homes
Integrated control of lighting, climate, security, audio, and shade — engineered
on Lutron, Crestron and Control4 platforms with hand-tuned scenes for each room.
AJL Investments designs and builds high-end residential and commercial environments — orchestrating architecture, automation, and atmosphere into a single signature experience.
Twelve years building rooms that feel inevitable — where the light is exactly right, the systems disappear, and every surface has a reason to exist.
We treat each home as a commission — equal parts architecture, engineering, and atmosphere. From the first sketch to the final dimmer curve, the work is made rather than installed.
AJL began as a lighting practice and grew into a full design-build studio. That origin still shapes how we work: every project starts with the experience of a space at dusk — the moment when materials, fixtures, and code reveal whether a house was made with intent or merely assembled.
Our clients return because the work ages well. The kitchens still feel current a decade later. The landscapes mature into themselves. The systems are upgraded, never replaced.
Most firms outsource what we keep in-house. Our lighting designers, automation engineers, landscape architects, and interior trades work as a single team — under one roof, on one drawing set.
A 9,200 sqft modernist home on Indian Creek. We led architecture, lighting, automation, landscape, and interior fabrication — every layer drawn and built by the same studio.
The result is a house with one tactile language: linen plaster, oxidized brass, unfilled travertine, and a single warm color of light. Every fixture, scene, and sequence was authored from the same palette.
A single team carries each project from first sketch to final scene programming — no subcontracted handoffs, no diluted intent. Four phases, one drawing set.
We walk the property, study the light, and shape a brief that names what the house should feel like — not just what it should contain.
Architecture, lighting, automation, and landscape are drawn together. Material boards, scene maps, and load schedules arrive in one binding.
Our shop and crews execute on a single tolerance. Cabinetry, stone, millwork, and rough-in are coordinated by a dedicated project director.
We program scenes at dusk, dial dimmer curves by eye, and stay through the first season — adjusting until the house behaves the way the brief promised.
They don't install a house — they compose one.
The light, the systems, the surfaces all answer to one another, and the result feels like a place that has always been there.
We accept a small number of new commissions each year. Tell us about the property and the brief — we'll respond within two business days.
